Summer Construction Challenges Solved!

Posted by Brett McCutcheon on Aug 26, 2023 8:30:00 AM

Summer is one of the most productive and challenging times of year for most construction contractors. Problems like extreme weather, an overly busy schedule, and poor air quality can all cause delays in production and poor overall efficiency. Sometimes these problems can even cause injuries, poor morale, and loss of work.

These problems have solutions. Using the right tools and fasteners, such as BECK's patented diamond coating for fasteners, for example, can help make your season more productive and profitable. The diamond coating ensures reduced friction, fewer wood fibers destroyed, and higher withdrawal values, allowing you to work faster when using nails and staples made with this innovative technology.

Additionally, training workers to stay safe in challenging conditions and following summer-specific protocols are essential steps to overcome some of summer's biggest challenges. See below for more details on these challenges and what you can do about them.

Landscaping With Timber Tips

Posted by Brett McCutcheon on Jun 24, 2023 8:15:00 AM

Landscaping with timber accents has become a popular trend in recent years, due to its ability to add a touch of natural beauty to any outdoor space. However, incorporating timber accents into landscaping projects can be challenging, requiring contractors to think creatively and use the right tools.

One essential aspect of building a timber structure is ensuring that it is structurally sound and can withstand the elements for years to come. Developed by BECK, Jumbo SCRAIL® nail screw fasteners are specifically designed to hold large, thick items in place, starting from a length of 100mm. When working with massive timber pieces, these fasteners are more than capable of getting the job done right, ensuring that your landscape creations stand up to the test of time. These fasteners are versatile enough to handle different types of timber applications, making installation quick and easy.

Let’s explore further how to build outdoor spaces with timber that will look beautiful, function well, and stand up to the elements!

How to Avoid Fastener Failure

Posted by Brett McCutcheon on Mar 6, 2023 12:05:35 PM

Fastener failure happens. Machinery vibrations and heavy use are the primary causes of fastener failure, but poor installation of staples and nails can exacerbate the problem. Fastener failure is a common cause of leaks and deterioration of exterior structures, but most failures can be avoided.

The best way is by using BECK’s patented Diamond Coated Fasteners—they are designed not to fail. They have a proprietary coating composition that stops staple and nail failure before it begins, by controlling friction and destroying fewer wood fibers. But first, let’s investigate the causes of fastener failure and then review the solutions.
